    Overview

    What it is, who it's for,
    and when it's needed.

    What it is
    A full new roof — strip, dispose, replace. Battens, breathable membrane, tiles or slates, ridge system, lead flashings and guttering, all installed to current standards.
    Who it's for
    Homeowners with roofs nearing the end of their life — sagging timbers, perished felt, multiple repairs in recent years, or a roof simply old enough to be beyond economical patching.
    When you need it
    When repairs are stacking up, when the loft shows daylight or wet timbers, when felt is visibly perished at the eaves, or when you want to settle the roof for the next 40+ years.
    Why it matters
    Done once, done properly. A modern re-roof improves insulation performance, ventilation and water tightness — and adds tangible value when you come to sell.

    Don't Wait

    What it costs to leave it.

    Roofs don't fail all at once. They give warning signs for years before they fail catastrophically — and ignoring them is always more expensive than acting.

    Risks of ignoring it

    • Repeated patching of an end-of-life roof routinely costs more than a planned re-roof over five years.
    • Perished felt allows wind-driven rain into the loft — destroying insulation and timbers from above.
    • Old, brittle tiles fail in clusters during the first severe storm, leaving you exposed mid-winter.
    • A failing roof tanks property valuations during survey — buyers walk or push for huge reductions.

    Common mistakes to avoid

    • Choosing the cheapest quote without checking what's included (scaffold, dry ridge, breathable felt, removal of waste).
    • Skipping breathable membrane to save a few hundred pounds — and inviting condensation problems for decades.
    • Allowing the installer to re-use old battens to keep the price down.
    • Hiring without checking insurance, references or recent local work.

    Our Process

    A clear, honest path
    from quote to guarantee.

    1. 1

      Itemised written quote covering scaffold, strip-out, materials, labour, lead, ridge system and waste removal.

    3. 3

      Strip & Prep

      Old roof carefully stripped, timbers inspected and replaced where needed, scaffold and edge protection in place.

    4. 4

      New Roof Installed

      Breathable membrane, treated battens, your chosen tile or slate, modern dry ridge and lead detailing.

    5. 5

      Sign-Off & Guarantee

      Full clean down, walk-around with you, written workmanship guarantee and tile manufacturer warranty handed over.

    Why It Pays

    Concrete benefits.
    No vague promises.

    • Decades Of Service

      A properly installed modern roof routinely lasts 40–60+ years with minimal maintenance.

    • Better Insulation

      Breathable membrane plus fresh detailing reduces heat loss and stops condensation in the loft.

    • Storm Resilient

      Modern dry ridge and verge systems handle high winds far better than old mortar-bedded designs.

    • Adds Property Value

      A new roof with a written guarantee is one of the strongest selling points at survey.

    • One Single Bill

      No more accumulating repair invoices. One job, one price, one guarantee.

    • Local Aftercare

      We're round the corner. Any follow-up question answered by the man who did the work.

    Deeper Detail

    Materials, methods
    and the full picture.

    Everything below is what we'd want to know if it were our roof.

    Tile and slate options

    We work with concrete interlocking tiles (Marley, Redland, Russell), traditional clay tiles, natural Welsh and Spanish slate, and synthetic slate alternatives. Each has trade-offs in cost, weight, lifespan and aesthetics — we'll talk them through honestly and recommend what suits your property and budget.

    Modern detailing — what's changed

    Modern roofs use breathable membranes instead of bituminous felt, dry ridge and dry verge systems instead of sand-cement mortar, and improved ventilation paths. The result is a roof that breathes, stays watertight, and doesn't crack apart in the freeze-thaw cycles that finish off old mortar bedding.

    What's included in our re-roof quotes

    No surprise extras. Our quotes always state clearly what's covered.

    • Scaffold hire and edge protection for the duration
    • Complete strip-out and disposal of the old roof
    • Inspection and replacement of damaged battens, rafters and timbers
    • Treated battens and breathable membrane underlay
    • Your chosen tile or slate in the quantities required
    • New lead flashings to chimneys, parapets and abutments
    • Modern dry ridge, hip and verge systems
    • New facias, soffits and gutters where requested
    • Written workmanship guarantee on completion
